Mustard gas, used in chemical warfare in World War I, has been found to be an effective agent in the chemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease. It can be produced according to the following reaction: SCl2(g)+2C2H4(g)S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g)An evacuated 5.0-1- flask at 20.0C is filled with 0.258 mol SCl2 and 0.592 mol C2H4.

Methanol, a common laboratory solvent, poses a threat of blindness or death if consumed in sufficient amounts. Once in the body, the substance is oxidized to produce formaldehyde (embalming fluid) and eventually formic acid. Both of these substances are also toxic in varying levels. The equilibrium between methanol and formaldehyde can be described as follows: CH3OH(aq)H2CO(aq)+H2(aq) Assuming the value of K for this reaction is 3.7 1010, what are the equilibrium concentrations of each species if you start with a 1.24 M solution of methanol? What will happen to the concentration of methanol as the formaldehyde is further converted to formic acid?
Lexan is a plastic used to make compact discs, eyeglass lenses, and bulletproof glass. One of the compounds used to make Lexan is phosgene (COCI2), an extremely poisonous gas. Phosgene decomposes by the reaction COCl2(g)CO(g)+Cl2(g) for which KP = 6.8 109 at 100C. If pure phosgene at an initial pressure of 1.0 atm decomposes, calculate the equilibrium pressures of all species.
